New to forum, but have read interesting comments on here so thought I would join.
(Sadly ) a Panasonic 4K VXF1 owner ( I say 'sadly' as since purchasing I have found more and more limitations with this, depite research and reviews )
My question to you all, in the hope of a well informed reply.
Filmed footage 4k, editing in Videostudio 2018
My PC specs, I7 -6700 processor / 32memory / Geforce 970
( i have tried premierepro ( PC not quite up to it ) and newer versions of Videostudio ( very buggy ) )
QUESTION;
I did a very simple edit, rendered and quality worked well imho. Please see photo ( top )
Now see the 2nd photo ( bottom ) - this is taken from the SAME video - yes it's true!! - the only difference was I applied a tiny zoom into the shot in the editing stage via Videostudio.
AND that bottom photo is the result!!!! - can you believe that. I have used HD footage ( TM700 camcorder and ipads etc ) and never had such bad, unusable quality before - horrendous. )
So, what is going on here? is it the 4k and loss of frames when trying to zoom ( using editor ) ( again, not using the in-camera zoom- but the zoom / crop features are applied at the VideoStudio stage. In face, i note, when i even try to lift the colour for example in editing on this 4k footage, once rendered, it is truly unusable.
I think the Panasonic camcorder 4k is very limiting in that virtually everything incamera is disabled when shooting 4k.....i was thinking to overcome this zoom ( after the event ) i edit the shot in-camera and then upload to my editing programme...but appears features disabled etc as mentioned.
So - thoughts MORE than welcome. A work-around ( although in 2020, paying enough cash out for a 4k camera! really to get these early 2000 results is unacceptable. )
So, there you have it, my first post, appreciate replies. No doubt some of you will not be aware of Videostudio editing software and cannot help, but if you know the Panny 4k camera and think of a way I can use crop / zoom feature after filming please let me know.
Thanks for your time.
